All of you have calculated your emissions and you have surely discovered the unexpectedly high impact of some of your behaviors (eating meat, flying to a sunny destination, etc.) on your total footprints.
Are there any behaviors that you are really willing to change or to improve for the sake of the environment? What challenges do you encounter or think you will encounter while trying to change these things? What help, support, and insights from others would make your life easier with these new behaviors?
Let's discuss these issues and make our pledges here!
Now It's Time for Action >
people not caring
a lot of people waste cause they either don't know what their dong or they do know what their doing they just don't care we got to work together to make it a better environment for the country
I LIKE THE WAY YOU THINK
I agree with you! I think that people don't care about the environment.
I like the way you think to.I see people not caring all the time and everyday
I agree with you. I have changed school districts twice and with each district, there is a different waste management program. Most schools have the three bins of waste, recycle, and compost, but not all schools have proper enforcement. Thus, I also agree that laziness is a huge factor in people wasting resources. Sometimes its just too hard for someone to walk the additional 5 feet to the recycling bin to throw away their empty plastic water bottle.
I do agree that some people do not know that what their doing is harming the environment but simply being unaware is a major cause of environmental problems caused by humans. Education about the environment and how our actions impact various ecosystems is not always available. I live in Ghana, Africa and have many cousins that go to local schools and the environmental sciences is not part of their syllabus or even their curriculum. Many of them do not even know of Global Warming and how by burning their garbage outside their houses weekly effects the environment and allows for carbon admissions. It is culture and a conventional habit to throw waste on the floor and burn garbage. Therefore I believe that the greatest difficulty concerning the betterment of the environment is sending a message that transcends all cultures and traditions. Educating others not only in school put through media, public advertisements, and even in verbal exchanges will allow for people to truly care.
